We are all sad to hear of Carls passing. We remember him for our joint trip to Gao Ming to adopt our daughters, and later as a neighbour close to where we live. Carl and I went on many walks with our dog and enjoyed the coffee shop after.
He was a very gentleman and nice person to go for walks with. Carl will be missed.
Sorry for your loss, Dave, Deb, and Leslie Cotter
Carl was a gentle man who loved his family. Carl loved Donna, Samantha, and Jessica and all aspects of raising a family including watching the kids soccer and listening to Samantha’s piano and Jessica’s violin, and canoeing camping with the family.
He was a wonderful friend and we miss him.
Dear Donna, Samantha and Jessica
It will be so hard to say good bye as there was so much love between you.
Our hearts are with you today as you honour Carl, an exemplary being.
Much love from Kate & Shelley
I remember Carl from public school (Broadview) and High School (Nepean) days. He was a gifted athlete and a warm human being. It's been many years since we attended school together. So glad to see he made a difference and was loved and appreciated by many for his wonderful qualities. They showed through even in the school days!
Condolences to surviving family and friends.
Dear Donna, Jessica, Samantha
We regret that we did not get the opportunity to become acquainted with Carl before he succumbed to illness. However, we did have the privilege of getting to know him vicariously, via the legacy he created through his love for each of you. Your reciprocal love and admiration for Carl is palpable. We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Despite suffering and decline, Carl was joyful. And despite (or perhaps, in part, resulting from) the challenges of caregiving for a beloved husband and father, you all embrace living, learning, and social contribution with zeal.
We know Carl only through his footprints. But the track is clear and inspiring.
With love and hugs,
Carol & Morgan
Although we only knew him for a few short years, we always enjoyed his company on many occasions at theatres, on quiet walks, watching football games and home visits. Rest in peace Carl...our thoughts are with you Donna, Samantha and Jessica.
Dear Donna, Jessica and Samantha. Carl was an extremely warm and loving man, husband and father. You four were amazing together. Sending Westcoast hugs to you, Karen Lorimer
My sympathies to you Donna and family. IT was a surprise to see this notice. I don't think I will be able to make the visit to Arnprior as I will be coming back from Toronto. May the Holy Spirit give you the straight to carry on with courage. I would have loved to see you and the girls. I'ts been quite a while. Blessings
I am honoured to have known Carl for the time I did. His infectious personality and undeniable presence had a profound impact on me, and I am sure were felt by all those around him. I will always remember him laughing and smiling, and how much he made me do the same. My thoughts and condolences to you—Donna, Samantha, and Jessica.
Donna, Jessica and Samatha, We are so sorry for your loss. Carl was a Gentle Man and wonderful neighbour. We are blessed to have you as friends. Praying Gods peace upon you all during this time.
Love Cynthia and Brad
So sorry to hear of the passing of my friend and fellow ground hog Carl. I'll cherish the memories of conversations that we shared over the years. Carl was a wonderful colleague who will be greatly missed.
Quelle triste nouvelle. J'ai eu la chance de travailler avec Carl pendant plusieurs années. Un collègue toujours calme et professionnel. Un leader d'exception. J'offre mes plus sincères sympathies à toute la famille et amis.
Dear Donna, Samantha and Jessica. My sincerest condolences to you all. I had the privilege of working with Carl, and he was one of the best. He was smart, professional and always kind, and CRA ITB was a better place because of him. He will be missed by all who knew him.
I met Carl through a community singing program where his love of music was obvious by the sparkle in his eyes and his enthusiastic participation. He was he was a warm, sweet-natured, gentle man who remains much loved by Donna, Samantha and Jessica. Their devotion to Carl through his illness confirms the wonderful husband and father he was to his family. Although they have years of memories, their loss of this wonderfully kind man comes far too early. Bless you all.
So sorry to hear of your loss Donna, Samantha and Jessica. I worked with Carl for almost 30 years in the IT Branch at CRA and he was always a valued colleague and friend...and a great story teller.

Dear Donna, Samantha and Jessica,
I'm so sorry to hear of Carl's passing. I think you hit it exactly in saying that the world is a better place for Carl having been in it. He was that person that had a joy for life, love for family, and a rare kindness and gentleness. I think fondly of visits at your place in Arnprior and Victoria, and Carl's jokes and tales of trapping raccoons. I hope you find comfort in each other and with family and friends in this difficult time.
My sincere condolences, Michelle Murti
